What's wrong with asking for a date via a text? It's not like she was proposing or anything...

No, I think childish would be defined as harshly judging someone by the method they they choose to ask people on dates with o.O Texts are casual and relaxed, first dates are casual and relaxed... see where I'm going here?

Paperfox, you may be okay with asking people out on dates via text or being ask out by text, but I would say a large number of people would not be. Asking someone out on a first date (or even the first couple of dates) is impersonal... literally just words on a screen. Asking in person or over the phone at least gives you the benefit of seeing the person, hearing their voice, or just getting a feel for who they are and the chemistry you may or may not have. I guess we're adapting to technology, but some things I feel should still be done the old-fashioned way.

I love how the 'old fashioned' way is actually calling someone to ask them out. Texting is one of the most impersonal ways to ask someone out, other than a facebook messege or wall post. Asking someone out via a text, especially a first date, is just plain idiotic. If she really wants to go out with this girl, she should ask her out in person. It makes the other person feel as if they're not really worth picking up the phone. Everyone is so hung up on texting it's ridiculous. I grew up without a cell phone and without the regular use of the internet and I"m just fricking dandy.

try through a group of people, I got asked out that way, could not take it seriously what so ever, now I have a strict ask me out to my face policy and the next guy to even think about using somebody to ask me out will be breathing from a tube....

I may be old-fashioned too, but a first date should at least be on the phone. Did the girl he was texting even know he had a crush on her? At least if you're talking, you can get some clue what the other person is thinking.

FAIL.

This wins. love it

briliant mate, I'd do that

You stole my idea -_-

Except without the stupid spelling errors, preferably.

Actually, the more spelling errors, the better!

*you're a bitch.
